She was mostly a pet, and was very gentle and easy to lead.

We also had horses. The burro was useful for training the horses to behave in a herd because she while she enjoyed being in the group she held herself outside of the horse’s hierarchy and would not be bullied

She was very adapt at wading into thorny blackberry bushes and eating only the ripest berries

That's a handy skill. Once you taste about-to-fall-off ripe ones, you can never go back.

How was she around dogs? Burros in AZ attack dogs. Had one harass our dog all night while camping, had to put the poor thing in the truck, it was terrified.
